What is Ubuntu used for?

Ubuntu, the powerful Linux operating system, has become a force of innovation and is widely used in the development and business world.
It is ranked as the #1 Linux OS by enterprise developers and is making its mark in business and the public sector, with examples ranging from servers and the public cloud to the Internet-of-things (IoT).
Unlike proprietary software, Ubuntu has an active community of users who collaborate on finding vulnerabilities and solving problems, making it a popular choice for external support.
New Mexico State University's Physical Science Laboratory opted for Ubuntu for their compliance needs, and extended the long-term support of Ubuntu from 5 to 10 years, as well as availing themselves of automated hardening tools.
LaunchDarkly selected Ubuntu to become FedRAMP compliant, and benefit from 10 years of security patching and compliance hardening and benchmarking tools.
For Rehrig Pacific, Ubuntu Core provided a nimble solution that could deliver advanced AI scanning capability with an immutable, minimized attack surface.
BeWell's self-testing kiosks needed an OS that could provide timely, secure updates without disrupting normal operations.
Grundium used Ubuntu as the underlying OS for their Ocus® Scanners, which allowed pathologists in distributed locations to work on high-resolution digital microcephaly images.
Ubuntu is a highly-performant OS that puts businesses and public sector bodies firmly in the driving seat when it comes to development and security, making it a popular choice across business and industrial landscapes.
Legacy systems are creaking, but traditional software and operating systems for businesses still provide a comfort of familiarity. However, the time is ripe for a new approach that prioritizes agility and flexibility.
